Chapter 766 Daddy Is Carrying You On His Back
Evelyn was speechless.
“Huston, that’s enough.”
Perhaps sensing her sinister gaze, the man didn’t push his luck. He just changed his position and asked Evelyn to hold Lucas by the hand. Then, he followed the two of them closely.
It had been more than an hour since they arrived at the scenic spot at nine o’clock. There was a rest area in the middle, and Evelyn bought some water and half a bag of oranges.
After resting for a while, the three of them continued to head to the top of the mountain. Lucas was still too young. Although Evelyn would help him most of the time, he was still exhausted.
“Mom, I can’t walk anymore.” Lucas stood on the platform, looking a little weak. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Before she could say anything, Huston rushed forward as if she had been waiting for this moment. He squatted down with one knee on the ground and patted her back. “Come on up. I will carry you on my back.”
Lucas had joy in his eyes, but the next second, he was a little hesitant and reserved. He stood where he was and did not know What to do.
Huston saw through his intentions at a glance and immediately said, “Many children can’t even climb up halfway. You are
already very good. I didn’t expect you to be so powerful, but the scenery at the top of the mountain is even better. I will carry you on my back, OK?”
No matter how young a child was, they all had their own self-esteem. Especially in front of him, Lucas always had a desire to do his best. Huston could tell that and was very encouraging. However, the main reason why he was so competitive was that he did not spend much time with his child, which made the child not so close to him.
Lucas nodded when he heard this. “Alright then.”
Looking at Lucas walking around behind him, she couldn’t help but worry. “Why don’t we forget about it? It’s not safe for you to carry him on your back.”
“I am fine.”
“But…..”
“You don’t believe me?” As he spoke, the man had already carried the child on his back. He had been exercising all year round, so his figure suddenly became as strong as a leopard. At this time, the muscles on his body were obvious. “Don’t you
know if I can do it or not?”
She was about to say something, but she immediately stopped.
all was the best at this. He was so good at dealing with people. She didn’t know how to reply.
However, Huston had proved his ability. He only rested twice from the hillside to the top of the mountain with Lucas on
his back. When he was about to reach the top, he put Lucas down and said, “It’s not far away. Lucas, you can climb up by yourself?”
After being carried for such a long time, Lucas had had enough rest. He nodded and said, “Okay!”
With a gratified smile, he wanted to stand up straight again, but he was stopped by the child. He was puzzled and thought that there was something else. “What’s wrong?”
Lucas lowered his head and took out a tissue from his small pocket. He stood in front of the man and stood on tiptoe to wipe his forehead.
Although he had a good physique, he was 37 years old after all. He couldn’t compare with a young man in his twenties. It was noon, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. Lucas remembered it in his heart when he saw it.
Huston’s half-squatted body stiffened. He hadn’t felt tired or dizzy after climbing the mountain road for so long, but this unexpected happiness had clouded his mind.
He looked at the child’s fair and tender face, and his heart was full of tenderness as if it had been soaked in the warm water of more than 30 degrees. “You are such a good boy.”
Lucas looked at the sweat on the man’s forehead and reached out to wipe it away little by little.
